Poison-type moves are typically used to | Poison-type moves are typically used to wear down foes by inflicting {{status|poison}} and {{status|bad poison}} to deal damage over time rather than to rely on basic damage. Prior to [[Generation VI]], Poison only hit the Grass type {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}}ly, which was largely offset by the common Grass/Poison typing. Compared to Poison, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, and even {{t|Bug}} are much more useful in countering the Grass type. Aside from itself, Poison is resisted by {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Ground}} and is completely ineffective against {{t|Steel}}. (Steel is also immune to the Poison status condition.) Additionally, Poison types typically have average {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, hampering the offensive usefulness of Poison-types. | ||
However, as of [[Generation VI]], Poison is one of only two types super-effective against {{t|Fairy}}, along with {{t|Steel}}, giving Poison a key offensive role. Because of the typically low {{stat|Defense}} most Fairy types have, moves such as {{m|Poison Jab}} and {{m|Gunk Shot}} can often take them down in one hit. | However, as of [[Generation VI]], Poison is one of only two types super-effective against {{t|Fairy}}, along with {{t|Steel}}, giving Poison a key offensive role.

Poison works well alongside Dark and Ghost offensively, since these cover Ghost-types as well as Psychic-types (which Poison-types are weak against), and Poison-types commonly learn Dark moves. It also pairs well with Ground, which covers Rock, Poison and Steel-types, and Water, which covers Rock and Ground-types. | |||
